A total of 40 monarch butterflies were used for the
microarray analysis. Of the 40, 10 (5 male/5 female) were summer butterflies
(designated as SUMMER) and 30 were migrant butterflies. The migrant butterflies were
further divided into three groups: 10 (5M/5F) were untreated (FALL);
10 (5M/5F) were treated with methoprene (FALL METHOPRENE), which is a
juvenile hormone analog and induces the development of reproductive organs in
migrant butterflies; and 10 (5M/5F) were treated with vehicle (control) acetone
(FALL VEHICLE).
For potential genes involved in oriented flight behavior, compare the summer
group to each of the three fall groups; for the juvenile hormone-response genes, compare the summer and the fall
groups, and the methoprene-treated and vehicle-treated migrants.
